This comparison uses the same aperture (f/11) and same subject/view size (16.78”) with four different focal lengths.


  • The red line represents the width of the subject/view.
  • Positions a, b, c and d represent camera positions using the four focal lengths in the table.
  • Black lines represent angle of view for each focal length.
  • Distance for each calculated using cad software.
  • Depth of field info calculated using Photo Caddie.

Very interesting. Wouldn't have thought the DOF would have been that close together. Where did you get your information from.
